During an improvised performance where you can't stop and revise an idea, you must use what comes spontaneously to conduct a musical conversation of emotions and transitions between them.Inside the space of an uncharted improvisational session, one may drop out of their own Zen moment, and think "what do I do now". At those moments, the body's adreniline, dopomine, seritonin, muscle memory and years of subjective listening combine to work when needed, with other natural impulses to express what humans are made of. Compositional building blocks, or complete compositions without pretense can evolve at those times, to be further molded at a later time. Improvisation is the original method of finding music as it already existed, but was yet to be "noticed, shaped, and presented".John thinks of music as having been here by the time anyting else was.The series of Youtbe duo videos with John Penny and Rey Rivera or Tim Pleasant were predominantly comprovisational in nature.
